This Mexican restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with its delicious food. They are particularly renowned for their fajitas and margaritas on the rocks. The service here is exceptional and incredibly friendly. During the summer season, if you pay with cash, your second main course is 50% off. Additionally, they have happy hour every day.

Food, incredible Drinks, incredible Service, the best I've had in the world. Great atmosphere, LGBTQ friendly, and very willing to make me regret asking for my drink to be as spicy as possible. I can't wait for my chance to come back, I already know they will make my second experience here more special than my first. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to take more pictures of my food, unfortunately I ate it all, and seconds before I got a chance to take a picture. Please eat here, and appreciate it all while I can't

Excellent experience here. Returned twice. Both the mixed and frozen margaritas are outstanding, and the menu offers a wide variety of delicious food. Service was good as well.

The enchiladas are incredible and the margaritas are seriously generous. Every single person working here goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The food, the drinks, the kindness... this place has it all. We will be back!

Wandered by just in time for "happy hour".. it goes for 4 hours, and enjoyed our tacos, guacamole and cocktails. All very tasty and our experience was helped by attentive but non intrusive staff. Highly recommended.

Stopped by here and checked out the menu. Jorge explained the menu and didn’t make us feel pressured to grab a table. We ordered the baja fish tacos and birria tacos. Both were absolutely to die for! The dip for the birria was so flavourful and delicious. The tarter for the baja tacos was a prefect addition. Good prices on cocktails for happy hour. Very generous pours. Can’t wait to come back here

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Puerto Vallarta's Romantic Zone! Where do I even begin? My visit to Republic was one of the most unexpected and delightful surprises of my entire trip to Puerto Vallarta. I walked in completely unplanned — and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made! The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was crafted with care, bursting with flavor, and presented beautifully. But what truly sets Republic apart is its people. Carlos and his incredible team go above and beyond in every possible way. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made me feel not just like a guest, but like family. In a world where so many businesses chase profit, Republic reminds us what truly matters — making people feel seen, valued, and happy. Customer satisfaction and happiness come first here, and that philosophy shines through in every single interaction. The success and the rewards will naturally follow, because this team has already mastered the most important part. I am traveling all the way from India, and I can honestly say that the hospitality I experienced at Republic rivals the very best I have encountered anywhere in the world. To every traveler visiting Puerto Vallarta — do not miss this place. Whether you plan it or stumble upon it like I did, you will leave with a full heart and a big smile. Thank you, Carlos, and the entire Republic family, for a truly magical experience. Wishing you all the love, success, and happiness you so richly deserve. — Deven, India
